The words ‘From the makers of Epic Movie and Date Movie’ are enough to scare off most fully matured movie-goers. But then this vampire spoof’s target audience are presumably aged 12 and easily pleased.

The plot is a simplified version of Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse (so yes, it’s very simple).

Sulky teen Becca (Jenn Proske) arrives in a new town and catches the eye of pallid vampire Edward Sullen (Matt Lanter).

Most scenes are copies of those in Twilight, given a little ‘twist’: say, an unpleasant accident, an inappropriate comment or a random appearance from a celebrity lookalike who meets a sorry end.

There are one or two funny moments and Proske actually comes out of this looking good. She does a mean impression of Twilight’s Kristen Stewart, mimicking mannerisms with a subtlety that could teach the film-makers a thing or two.

Mocking the vampire vogue like a child pulling pigtails (hard), this is playground humour, and the school is definitely gross-out.
